Dom-Ino House (French: Maison Dom-Ino) is an open floor plan modular structure designed by the pioneering architect Le Corbusier in 1914–1915. It was a prototype as the physical platform for the mass production of housing. The name is a pun that combines an allusion to domus (Latin for house) and the pieces of the game of dominoes, because the floor plan resembled the game and because the units could be aligned in a series like dominoes, to make row houses of different patterns.

Purism 1922
Le Corbusier, 1921, Nature morte (Still Life), oil on canvas, 54 x 81 cm, Musée National d’Art Moderne
Purism, referring to the arts, was a movement that took place between 1918 and 1925 that influenced French painting and architecture. Purism was led by Amédée Ozenfant and Charles Edouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier). Ozenfant and Le Corbusier formulated an aesthetic doctrine born from a criticism of Cubism and called it Purism: where objects are represented as elementary forms devoid of detail. The main concepts were presented in their short essay Après le Cubisme (After Cubism) published in 1918. * Purism does not intend to be a scientific art, which it is in no sense. * Cubism has become a decorative art of romantic ornamentism. * There is a hierarchy in the arts: decorative art is at the base, the human figure at the summit. * Painting is as good as the intrinsic qualities of its plastic elements, not their representative or narrative possibilities. * Purism wants to conceive clearly, execute loyally, exactly without deceits; it abandons troubled conceptions, summary or bristling executions. A serious art must banish all techniques not faithful to the real value of the conception. * Art consists in the conception before anything else. * Technique is only a tool, humbly at the service of the conception. * Purism fears the bizarre and the original. It seeks the pure element in order to reconstruct organized paintings that seem to be facts from nature herself. * The method must be sure enough not to hinder the conception. * Purism does not believe that returning to nature signifies the copying of nature. * It admits all deformation is justified by the search for the invariant. * All liberties are accepted in art except those that are unclear.

It is one of the research base LC his interest in industrialization and new forms of housing from a logical and economical home awaits appear for all subjects The discover of his visual experience (ouvrir les yeux) of a space that was perceived in popular bars in Paris: two parallel walls double height including a mezzanine standing and has a large light into its free end. Le Corbusier recognizes the virtues present in this simple formulation, especially its ability to allow a wealth section, which adds freedom gained ground in their previous work with Domino structure, pillars and beams of reinforced concrete, free with no drilling ladder forging, following a strict constructive logic.
